harbor freight horn to high pitched

i bought the harbor freight air horn and its too high for my taste. tomorrow im going to buy the freeway blaster one, is that a lower tone? does anyone know? also can i wire the freeway blaster one right up to the harbor freight one, so they both go off at the same time when i push the horn button?

my truck in high school didn't have a working horn, nor does my Yota for that fact..... Anyways, for my truck in h.s. I carried around one of these bad boys....

Worked out pretty well, people never got mad, just had to laugh at a guy holding one of those out of the truck window and squeezing the heck out of it.

Nothing to it, if the horns have one wire connection, wire the 2nd horn's wire to the 1st horn's wire. If they have two wires, just connect like wires together for the two horns, + to + and - to -.

I think the relay that comes with the harbor freight horns actually have 2 switched plugs. Mine did, so i have 2 sets of horns with 2 compressors all off of the same relay. No extra parallel wiring needed.

Some of these horns are dual pitch but sold separately... The freeway blasters for example, there is a high and a low version.

hm, sounds simple enough.

the harbor frieght one comes with two horns, a longer one and a shorter one. so im assuming one is high and ones low. so i went to autozone and got a freeway blaster low horn. should help, if not oh well just more obnoxious
